What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the insertion of small, hair-sized needles into acupuncture points to correct imbalances in the flow of “qi” or life energy. Qi circulates through what acupuncturists call “channels” – these channels are pathways of communication between the brain and the body’s skeletal structures and organs. Factors such as stress, trauma, inflammation and unhealthy lifestyle impede and upset this communication.

The acupuncture points where the needles are inserted are small areas of increased electrical sensitivity. By stimulating these points, multiple biological responses occur throughout the body, allowing the body to regain the natural ability to heal itself and return to homeostasis.

Cupping and Moxibustion

Acupuncture by Devon provides individualized and comprehensive acupuncture treatments, incorporating a variety of therapies. Our goal is to ensure you get the best the results in the quickest amount of time. Cupping and moxibustion are just two of the modalities we may perform during treatments.

Cupping: Small glass cups are applied to the body through suction, and remain on the body for about 10 minutes or are gently moved along the muscular structures. Cupping relieves back and neck pain , stiff muscles, common colds, stomachaches, fatigue, migraines, asthma and anxiety.

Moxibustion: This warming therapy involves the burning of mugwort to stimulate circulation to an acupuncture point or region of the body. This method is especially effective in the treatment of chronic joint pain, menstrual disorders, fatigue and breech position of a baby .

After having a miscarriage I wanted to make sure that I get the best support for my next pregnancy that I can get. So I saw Devon right before getting pregnant and throughout my whole pregnancy. She helped me with morning sickness, stuffy nose, sinus infection and other pregnancy related symptoms. Besides being a highly skilled acupuncturist she is very compassionate and easy to talk to. I was able to relax deeply during the sessions and really felt like I am in good hands.

I just wanted to say thank you for that treatment last night. I feel better today than I have felt in weeks, and I’m sure your treatment had a significant influence. I appreciate both your compassion as a human being, and your skills as an acupuncturist. You’re an incredible woman and so good at what you do.

I was initially skeptical about acupuncture but after reading a few reviews, I called Devon for an appointment and just within minutes of speaking to her I felt I wanted to try this. The warmth and genuine concern in her voice will never fail to comfort you. From the very first appointment she made me feel better in every way. She consults with you , discusses your problems and addresses them in every detail. After just 2 months of weekly sessions we were pregnant and I continued sessions…

I have thoroughly enjoyed the excellent care you have provided to me, and I compliment your integrative approach which has made, for me, all the difference in the world. I know I present a sometimes complex case, yet your sensitivity to my varying tolerances for touch has been a welcome part of my experience. I have been treating with Dr. Devon and have benefited more from your care during 2015 than I did from all the other Western medicine providers I saw, including top-notch neurosurgeo…

We are SO thankful for you, I cannot even begin to tell you what an amazing difference you have made in our lives. I truly never believed there would be a day where his skin would be soft and smooth and I could say his eczema was just gone. Thank you thank you thank you!

Since my epidural steroid treatment for spinal stenosis nearly two years ago, Devon’s monthly treatments have helped to keep me pain free. Devon has a gentle touch and an engaging bedside manner, especially for us older folks. For pain relief, Devon is the one!

I have to start off by saying Devon is AMAZING. My 9 year old son was diagnosed with severe asthma, bronchial and sinus infections 6 years ago. Over the last 6 years he has treated with several asthma/allergy specialists and has been hospitalized 3 times (twice for a week due to a severe asthma attack). He has taken multiple antibiotics for sinus and respiratory infections. He took Singulair, QVAR, nebulizer with Albuterol & Pulmicort and many doses of prednisone. On several occasions his …

I was referred to Devon by a co-worker due to the severity of migraines that I get. Yes I was a skeptic about acupuncture, but Devon was so knowledgeable and professional and gave me extensive information, I felt like there was hope. After a couple of appointments I noticed a slight decrease in the pain, then after a few more treatments, Devon had the migraines down to a couple a week which was HUGE coming from where I was at the beginning of the treatments .So I would definitely recommend Devon…

I have to echo the sentiments about Devon. So kind and helpful. I was able to get in for a last minute appointment to get some relief from a very sore hip. Devon explained everything she was doing and really made me feel at ease. After searching unsuccessfully for the past few years, I think I have found myself a new acupuncturist.

What else can I say but AMAZING! DEVON is a Migraine GENIUS! I no longer have health insurance and I go to Devon for all my ailments. Devon is knowledgeable about Alternate medicines especially if you don’t want to poison your body with prescriptions from a Western Medicine Doctor. What else can I say that everyone else hasn’t without repeating the words to describe the quality of service and comfort you get here. I JUST LOVE DEVON!!~
